Biography

Karijn Suijkerbuijk is a translational medical oncologist with special interest in melanoma and immunotherapy. During her PhD, she performed research on tumor epigenetics in breast cancer in the lab of Professor Saraswati Sukumar at the Sidney Kimmel Cancer Center at Johns Hopkins University. Dr. Suijkerbuijk currently participates in multiple phase II and III clinical trials on immune checkpoint inhibitors. She published papers in Oncogene, Annals of Oncology and JNCI, received research grants from KWF and NWO and was awarded an ASCO Merit Award. Her current research focuses on clinical and immunological parameters assoaciated with immune related adverse events during checkpoint inhibition and clinicopathological factors associated with checkpoint inhibitor response.
